Academic Admission

The minimum admission requirement to an undergraduate programme of study is a recognized High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or equivalent internationally recognized qualification(s). Students with a lower HSLC grade than 7.5/10 or 15/20 or equivalent depending on the grading system of the country issuing the HSLC are provided with extra academic guidance and monitoring during the first year of their studies.

In addition to the above, applicants must also satisfy ONE of the following requirements:

• Have a Cyprus Public High-School diploma with grade of at least 15/20 in Advanced Mathematics (Eνισχυμένα Μαθηματικά) or equivalent, or,
• Have grade B or higher in GCE A level Mathematics, or,
• Score at least 75% on the University of Nicosia Mathematics Placement for MATH-180.

English Language Proficiency

The list below provides the minimum English Language Requirements (ELR) for enrollment to the programme of study. Students who do not possess any of the qualifications or stipulated grades listed below and hold IELTS with 4.5 and above, are required to take UNIC’s NEPTON English Placement Test (with no charge) and will receive English Language support classes.

• TOEFL – 525 and above
• Computer-based TOEFL – 193 and above
• Internet-based TOEFL – 80 and above
• IELTS – 6 and above
• Cambridge Exams [First Certificate] – B and above
• Cambridge Exams [Proficiency Certificate – C and above
• GCSE English Language “O” Level – C and above
• Michigan Examination of Proficiency in English (CaMLA) – Pass
• Pearson PTE General – Level 3 and above
• KPG (The Greek Foreign Language Examinations for the State Certificate of Language Proficiency) – Level B2 and above
• Anglia – Level B2 and above
• IEB Advances Programme English – Pass
• Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE) Michigan Language Assessment by: Cambridge Assessment English & University of Michigan – 650 average score for ALL skills and above

Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, mid-terms, projects, and class participation.

Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.

The student must complete 240 ECTS and all programme requirements.

A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D-‘ is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.

By the end of the programme the graduates will be able to:

1. Demonstrate a solid foundation in all areas of Mathematics (modern and traditional), i.e. Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Applied and Computational Mathematics, Probability and Statistics.
2. Communicate Mathematics effectively using appropriate mathematical symbols, notation and terminology.
3. Read, apply, and write rigorous mathematical theorems, proofs and definitions.
4. Recognize real-life applications of Mathematics and the important role it plays in other Sciences such as Physics, Engineering and Finance.
5. Construct and solve mathematical and statistical models using analytic or numerical techniques.
6. Assess the accuracy of mathematical and statistical models and discuss their limitations.
7. Utilize High-Level computer languages and Mathematical software to solve mathematical problems.
8. Identify, formulate, and analyze problems from various fields (Physics, Economics, etc) with the aid of mathematical or statistical techniques. Use critical thinking to interpret the results.
9. Recognize the fact that Mathematics is a vibrant and evolving science on the cutting edge of technology.
